• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK140 - Cost estimate has status & (marking not possible) ?

  The SAP error message CK140, which states "Cost estimate has status & (marking not possible)," typically occurs when you attempt to mark a cost estimate that is not in a suitable status for marking. This can happen in various scenarios, particularly in the context of product costing and cost estimates in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Cost Estimate Status: The cost estimate you are trying to mark has a status that does not allow marking. For example, it might be in a "locked" status or not yet released.
  Costing Variant Settings: The costing variant used may not allow marking for the specific cost estimate.
  Costing Run Issues: If the cost estimate was generated as part of a costing run, it may not be in a state that allows for marking.
  Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incomplete data in the cost estimate that prevents it from being marked.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CK140 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Cost Estimate Status:

  Review Costing Variant:
  
  Check the settings of the costing variant used for the cost estimate. Ensure that it is configured to allow marking.
